The Tale of Yu Darvish w/ Andy McCullough

Never a bad time to talk about Yu Darvish, right? On today's edition of the Locked On Padres podcast, Javier is joined by a very special guest: Andy McCullough of The Athletic! After mistakenly calling Andy a senior editor instead of a senior writer, the two discuss his latest piece on Yu Darvish's career arc and what makes him such a fascinating figure, other people he wishes he could've talked to for the piece, and his general baseball cynicism. Then to close things out Javi answers a listener question about Blake Snell and Fernando Tatis Jr.'s defense.

Check out the piece on Yu Darvish at The Athletic!
